About Me

My name is Austin, and I’ve always sucked at the guitar. But that all changed when I started building the Chord Genome Project – a searchable index of songs organized by their chords.

I soon discovered that with 3 simple chords, I could play thousands of songs. And by adding a 4^th beginner chord, I could play thousands more – all within easy reach.

Am I a rock star? No. But I can do something I never could before.

I can create MUSIC.

It’s a wonderful feeling – one I’ve spent 20+ years chasing.

Better still, I can share this gift with my kids.
